Congressman peter king joins me. And, he walks two worlds now, shaping history, defining his own future. More of our conversation with george w. Bush on the cia, his fathers legacy, and the new family business. Mother called and said i hear youre a painter. She said, paint my dogs. This is state of the union. Good morning from washington. Im candy crowley. 1 trillion spending bill is on its way to president obamas desk after clearing the senate late last night. In addition to keeping the government open the senate is on track to approve a new number two at the state department, a new head of the Social Security administration, and maybe even a new surgeon general. Joining me now is Senate Democratic leader chuck schumer. Thank you for being here and it is a pleasure to be inhouse. Before we get going, i want to congratulate you for an amazing 27 years. Youre the best of the old school journalism, study it thoroughly and ask the hard questions and you get the answers and theres no gimmicks or anything else. Were all going to miss you, democrats, republicans, everybody. Job well done. Thank you very much. And i didnt i didnt pay him to say that or anything. Thank you. Thats very know. She didnt even know. No, thats very nice of you, thank you. Let me ask you to step back and look at how this bill passed. You know full well what the arguments were. You had in your party the warren wing as we call it now, and then those looking to compromise in the leadership, then we had in the Republican Party the tea party at odds with their more moderate wanting to do a compromise. So when you look at it, what does this comnibus as we call it now tell you about a the state of the Democratic Party . I think it shows that democrats will Work Together with republicans when we get things, when they want to get things done in both cases. Some of them. Well certainly enough to make a majority. The big news today was the open fight between Mitch Mcconnell and ted cruz. There are huge differences in the Republican Party. On the floor of the senate we saw the soul of the Republican Party being debated. Ted cruz was in the well pushing his socalled constitutional point of order, which risks shutting down the government, five feet away from him was Mitch Mcconnell imploring senators to vote the other way and the vote, unfortunately, was about 50 50 on the republican side. And so that makes me worry a great deal, because if after the terrible, terrible brick paths republicans took when they shut down the government a few years ago, half the republican senators are still willing to risk it again, despite the fact that their leader went against it. Im worried about the next two years, the chasm in the Republican Party is huge and one more point, its going to get worse because first, you have the president ial candidates in the senate pulling things to the right. Second, when theyre in the majority, the tea party will field its oats. We want to work with republicans to help the middle class but im worried the tea party will pull them much too far over. You brought up the schism in the Republican Party, and i want to show you something that we have, and its about how the potential 2016 candidates voted on this bill. Now these are the candidates who voted no, senator rand paul, senator marco rubio. Senator ted cruz and from your side, senator Elizabeth Warren, senator bernie sanders. So there was commonality among 2016 candidates that didnt like this bill. Isnt that representative of the democrats also having a problem with their no. You had elizabeth war ehren, having her trying very hard and Nancy E Pelosi on the house side. Yes, let me say this. I think that the the differences among democrats are small compared to the huge chasm of republicans. On the fundamental issues that face us, the Economic Issues that we need to address to get the middle class moving again, to get middle class incomes going again, theres amazing unity on the democratic side from Elizabeth Warren, through Hillary Clinton, all the way to joe manchin and some of the more conservatives. You look on issues like minimum wage and equal pay and infrastructure construction, helping people pay for college, the Democratic Party is unified and if we put together a strong economic message aimed at the middle class not only will it unify our party as the republicans are truly divided, but we can actually, actually do really well in 2016. Let me ask you about that, because nancy pelosi on the house side tried to get her folks in the Democratic Caucus to vote against this bill. They were upset because they thought wall street was getting a big old break in here, and the president disagreed. I want to play you two quick bites of both of them. I think what the American People very much are looking for is some practical governance and the willingness to compromise. Im enormously disappointed that the white house feels that the only way they can get a bill is to go along with this. And when the majority leader of the democrats, shes enormously disappointed in the democratic president , its more than enormously disappointed. Shes upset with him, as are democrats from Elizabeth Warren on the house side. Tell me about the relationship between democrats and the president. Okay, let me say this first. I think that what happened in the house, i thought nancy pelosi handled it extremely well. She knew the government couldnt be shut down. She lost, right. But she also knew that she had to show that democrats are needed, and so she provided a veto proof, a vetosustainable group to say no. What anyone who thinks that democrats are going to be irrelevant in the upcoming congress, if you look at the house and the senate in both cases, the Republican Leaders needed democrats to actually get the government moving. Their great plans of showing they could govern fell apart when their right wings deserted them and they had to turn to democrats. So i thought pelosi handled it well. And i think the idea that the bill passed, but at the same time House Democrats showed that they could sustain a president ial veto because on almost most of the major Economic Issues that i mentioned were going to be united was goinging the to be a good thing. Overriding a president ial veto from your own party would be a big deal. Let me ask you, as we run out of time as always, two questions. The first is, you would argue with the fact that there is an equal amount of battle in the Democratic Party for the soul of the Democratic Party. You dont think thats whats happening no. With people pushing Elizabeth Warren to run . I think the soul of the Democratic Party is Economic Issues and i think on Economic Issues we are united and Elizabeth Warren is, even if people dont agree with her, shes constructive. Shes not like ted cruz saying shut down the government or dont fund things if i dont get my way. Shes working hard to move things in our direction and thats a good thing. Ted cruz, on the other hand, people say hes a great political mover and shaker. He made huge mistakes yesterday. He helped helped you with your nominees. He helped us get nominees republicans didnt want, embarrassed Mitch Mcconnell who had gone home on friday night saying see you on monday and got republicans publicly for the first time talking against him. So i think comparing the two wings of the party is like night and day. And just finally and really quickly, i know you want her to run, but is there any doubt in your mind that Hillary Clinton will run . Look, hillary hasnt asked, told me and i havent dared ask her, but ill bet shes running. Ill bet shell be a great candidate, ill bet shell win by a large majority and democrats can help the middle class whose incomes have been declining in 15 years in a united way. And the program will have the support of every wing of the Democratic Party on Economic Issues, the key issues, were united, theyre divided and need us to get everything done. I think you got your message across. I hope so. Thank you for being here. God speed. When we come back, fixing the Democratic Party with Massachusetts Governor deval patrick.

Demonstrators heard from the mothers of trayvon martin, tamir rice, michael brown, and eric garner. Our sons, you know, they may not be here in body, but theyre here with us in each and every one of you, and they dont see this and make a change, then i dont know what we got to do. I want to thank the nation and the world for the support, because thats the only way im standing up right now. I dont have to tell not one single africanamerican about racial profiling, because you guys know. A demonstration was also held in boston this weekend, the hometown of Massachusetts Governor deval patrick, and he joins me now. Thank you so much for being here. Its great to be with you, candy, thank you for having me. For several months now the question has been, will these horrific incidents lead to a movement, will they be moments that lead to a movement or are they just horrific moments that we look back and say oh, whatever happened with that . What do you think . Well, i hope they lead to a broader and deeper kind of understanding, you know, not just the much vaunted conversation on race with you the examination of the differences in way people experience interactions with the police, the concerns that police have, the kind of fear that is out there in so many camps from so many different perspectives. Im hopeful, because i think weve had moments in our past where we were facing what seemed like insurmountable gulfs between us, black and white, and all kinds of other differences, and as a nation, we have rallied back around our ideals of equality and freedom and opportunity and fair play. But government cant, if you look to, if were looking to the government now in this, and youve talked a lot about neighborhoods and how thats where it starts in the community, but if you look at the government, they cant legislate unfear. I dont think its all about legislation and fairness. I dont think there are certainly responsibilities that government and government leaders have to take in terms of the appropriate training and preparation of law enforcement, but theres a listening that we dont do very well in the United States today. Its not just in government. I think thats among average citizens. If were going to have to listen a lot more closer to each other. Whats the goal, do you think . Movement need to have goals, whether its the Civil Rights Act in the 60s or, and so what is the goal here . Such a great question, because you know, yesterday in boston, we had demonstrations as well, and we went to Great Lengths to try to connect with the organizers to the extent they were organized to get a sense of what they needed so we could accommodate the protests and respect that right and they werent interested in engagement because part of the point was to be disruptive, and i think it does beg some questions, what is it were trying to accomplish beyond disruption . Certainly part of it is to make sure people understand just how broadly the concern lies around being understood, and not being fearful either as unarmed black men or as police, and that huge chasm of misunderstanding between the two has got to be bridged. And there is issues, as you say, such a broad group and youre not really sure what groups are showing up to protest, and movements need leaders. You know that. They need charismatic folks. Weve seen the reverend al sharpton step into this role. Is he an appropriate person to take this over and try to make this into a more than a conversation or more than a disruption . I think there will be many leaders, and some who probably have not emerged yet. Some happening at the grass roots, a strong kind of leadership and by the way, that was a feature of the Civil Rights Movement in the 60s as well. We pay a lot of attention, and we should to reverend dr. King and some of the other noted leaders but in fact it was an awful lot of very strong leadership that came from the grassroots and i think well so he that and have seen that in this movement as well. Im going to move you on to the elections. Democrats got pretty well drubbed in the midterms and moving forward. I read some of your comments about it, and you said that you felt the president had not been Strong Enough in pointing out what things had improved and how the economy had improved, and you know, that there should have been more discussion about that. I do believe that. I dont think that was the reason for the outcome in the election. What was the reason . I think the reason and the outcome in the elections is because democrats didnt stand for anything, and the democrats who lost are the ones who were saying, look, were just not as bad as the other guys and gals. We are a party that believes in the american dream. We believe in the collaboration between government and the private sector to enable the american dream. Its a broadbased party. We are very specific about the things that we need to do economically and socially, to enable people to get a toehold in the middle class and to hang on, once they get there, and i think that thats a very powerful story. It is around convictions, and when we tell it, we win. We are now seeing at least playing out in the senate what many hope to see play out in the democratic primary, which is a battle for sort of the Elizabeth Warren, more progressive wing of the party, bernie sanders, Elizabeth Warren, you know, versus more mainstream and in many ways this does mirror the republicans who have this fight about the reason we lost the presidency is because we had the wrong candidate. There are moderates. We need to go really more conservative. Now you hear some democrats going we need to be more progressive here. We dont need to be like republicans. They seem to be mirror problems. Do you think the Democratic Party is more Elizabeth Warren or do you think its more a moderate . I love senator warren but i have to tell you, i dont think, candy, in fairness that its quite that simple. I describe myself as a progrowth progressive. We have at home a very disciplined in investing in education, innovation and in infrastructure. Weve done that together with the private sector and emerged number one in the nation. In economic competitivenessb. Business friendly. Of course. Thats an anathema sometimes. I was in business. This is the only Elective Office ive ever held. Im a capitalist. I say that without apology. I just dont believe that markets solve every problem in everybodys life and i dont think government solves every problem in everybodys life. I think they have to work alongside each other and because we have been very disciplined and very collaborative and clear about our convictions, we lead the nation in education, health care, energy efficiency, and economic competitive, entrepreneurial activity and much, much more. There are no more southern democratic senators. Why is that . That will change. Why do you think theyve been sort of run out, though . Well, youd have to ask southerners about that. Ive spent a lot of time in the south. I know a lot of people in the south, and i mean not political people, just regular old folks who are i think also just like people everywhere else in the country, willing to respond to those who come to public life with conviction, and and who respond to their problems. Sure, absolutely. Because part of the, and who listens, right, part of which is part and parcel of the same thing, listen and deal with their problems. I think the question that is out there now as weve talked so much a
